Introduction

The x600 Series Switches are managed Gigabit Ethernet switches that act

as standalone units. There are five Basic Layer 3 switches in the series:

 x600-24Ts Switch

 x600-24Ts/XP Switch

 x600-48Ts Switch

 x600-48Ts/XP Switch

 x600-24Ts-POE Switch

The AlliedWare Plus

Operating System Software (AW+) runs on all the

x600 switches. The x600-24Ts-POE requires AW+ software version 5.3.3

or later for IEEE 802.3af support

For more detailed information about the switches, including illustrations,

see “Switch Descriptions” on page 21.
